..............A great chapter that has a lot of insight whether intentional or not! LOL!

....................Hey Billy!!! Very nice prose in your writing, I loved your symbolic forewarning of the chicken hawks flying overhead behind the field. Again you blend nature and perhaps mystic into the story, being one and the same determined by the main character and a readers perception. "To Kill A Mockingbird" was a fantastic book that I was moved by when I read it many (many) years ago, I think the movie with Gregory peck is one of my favorites for performance about social injustice and small town life prejudices. I'm sure you threw it in as it seems to parallel a bit of the town you are writing about. Hope Tony is okay no matter what, ! You have presented us with a case of two brothers, one that looks after his younger brother and one that looks down on his younger brother. That leaves it hard to say if Tony was attracted to Sammy or just looking for a friend, but given his family's 'supposed' attitude it might be a hard road for him. Mike on the other hand has a supporting brother and is almost openly flirting with Sammy. I'm sure Mike's older brother is aware!! Great Chapter, keep them coming!!

.......... I like it, I like it!!!!

...............Hey Billy!! Welcome back to the writing world. Interesting characters, the young Indian teen might very well play a part int the T&T (or vice-versa) saga with the mystical inspiration you left in place in the T&T series somehow. Not sure but Sammy's muse about nature seemed to captivate him along with playing the sport. Great start to a great story, and I'm sure you will intertwine them both enough to revive T&T to conclusion.

..........Glad to hear you are up and about and tinkering back into this story!!! Looking forward to it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTA!!! .............Hope it was a good 'old' time!!

.............I personally loved "The Log way" its mystery captivated me, and its ending was left to the imagination!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAN!!! ............Hope it was a good one!

......Thanks all, unfortunately my body decided this day would a good time to get sick!!

..............Hey Trev! Not sure if you are smoking weed or indulging in LSD!! LOL! That was weird.....very weird!

..........Hey Trevor! I like the way Aries got out of this mess, shame they both died in the car accident though (as Lone Wolf seemed to be pretty decent guy). His breakup with Ian was kinda fucked up, but not unexpected as the age difference and drama it caused was difficult to understand. Shane needs to either let go or grow up, a new start and with the band too, maybe Shane can help Aries by writing more songs, first he has too discover his own past songs to get the muse back. Lastly, the very last thing Aries needs is a stalker, he left his life back in Napa and that is where it needs to stay. Great chapter!

................Hey Trevor!! Interesting events, Aries being possessed by an angry Sean re-enacts revenge for a crime of way past. Gets in a bunch of trouble, wonder how Aries is going to get out of that mess? Speaking of mess, he has just jumped out of the frying pan and landed in the fire, how the hell is he going to get out of this one? Always interesting, looking forward to more!!

..............Well, what an interesting development with Worth and Aries, wonder if there is anything to Shane's premonition? I fear there will be trouble on this camping trip! I still don't like the student set-up of the teacher, that too can go badly either way. Thanks for the chapter!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LACEY!!!! .....................Hope it was a good one!!

........Another interesting chapter, Amber has cooled way to far down to quickly. I don't like Ivan's plan at all for Ian, as he could be charged! Mr. Simms was an interesting character, I sure his hatred was rekindled in his heart after seeing the reincarnation in Aries, and suffered a heart attack later. Yet, after 40 years you would think there was more then $1,000 dollars, I wonder if after going thru the shoebox there might be a savings account or something that Aries could access? Finally, Aries needs to find that song...to reconnect to Shane in order to become 'famous' again. Still to come is the creepy old guy!!! Great chapter!

...........I enjoyed all of his stories here, he will be missed!

......Well, interesting and weird chapter! Aries has some strange characters in his life, Keith and Riley's dad. The latter is dangerous sounding, while the former is just a pathetic excuse of a human being. Thanks for the chapter!

............Hmm, interesting chapter Ian's wife leaving was a given, but what is this shit about Riley's dad? He seems to be a self-absorbed selfish and dangerous person. It is still awkward about the relationship developing with Aries and Ian, didn't I read that Aries/Shane was pretty well known in the past life as a writer and musician? Maybe he recorded that song he is trying to remember and will accidentally hear it again. Interesting chapter! Thanks! Benji

..............I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, I know the feeling as I have lost many relatives, family and friends over the last 10 years, recently my wife of 30 years as of Sept. 22 last year. In the course of that time I lost both my mother, my in-laws and sister in law, plus a few family friends I had known for over 50 years. So I understand your depth of grief, it does take time to come to grips with it.

.................Hey Trevor, the story had me confused as I thought it was being one of the same title I was following in Jacob Millers site, his editor is named Trevor and that is where the confusion laid. Interesting short story (I think [short]) I loved how Shane's mind worked in tricking the murderers into confession, which he caught on tape and also into confessing to the police. Now how in the hell are you going to wrap this one up? Not like you can go back to 1969 and have them start over again, and the age difference is awkward, to say the least of that Ian is married with child. Perchance, an accidental deaths of the two together, brings them back together in a few years?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!! HOPE IT IS A GOOD ONE!!

................Well an end to a long (time wise) story, great writing Krista. This story will be missed!

............Guess I should have read the epilogue first before responding to the last chapter, but that isn't my style, I prefer to comment on each chapter,even if I'm proven wrong. Crappy end though (for them). They only stayed one night!! You could of stretched that to at least 2 days, LOL! Oh well, a long saga with a good ending anyway! Thanks for the ride (wink!) Benji

.............Hey Krista!! Well the no girls or alcohol rules was broken rather quickly, I'm guessing dad is not going up to check on them, otherwise the would be another chapter before the epilogue! LOL! One little mistake, if they are using the sleeping bags, why on the floor? And if they used the sleeping bags on the bed, why pull up the covers? The air conditioning might be pretty cold but sleeping bags are pretty warm by themselves. Strip poker, ya know that is something I never did (nor my friends) during my school years. Must be your generation Krista!!! LOL! Great chapter! Benji

.................I didn't really miss this one, just bad timing on the post as this is a bad time (month) of the year for me. After hearing 'No girls' for the 8th time, I knew there was going to be girls there. LOL! Awkward having other teammates of Coreys come along too, I guess it is part of Jenny's great plan. Interesting about the newspaper article though, not much dept given into it, but the gist is clear. CJ is persona non grata to those that care. Great chapter! Benji
